Any adventure that starts with the runners kidnapping a famous person is
going to smack of Queen Euphoria. Maybe that'll work out quite well: While
everyone is looking out for non-existant bugs, they won't see the real
threat coming. Heck, I did an adventure similar to that, only it was a
beauty pageant contestant (Miss CFS) being kidnapped while the local yak and
mafia were trying to win money betting on the outcome. It was a fun run
(although two of the characters wound up in the hospital; one for a week,
one for a month).
